Easy To Do And Easy Not To
Which easy will you choose? With easy also comes hard. If you always take the easy route, things are likely to get hard later on in life. If you do some of those harder things now, you can have things a little easier later in life.
So if its easy enough to do now, do it. Put in a little extra work and time. It will pay off over time. And that future you will appreciate it.

IF is in the heart of life.
If I had finished school or gone to college. If I’d got that job I wanted. If I’d been born in a different house to a different family. If my parents had been wealthier. If I’d said no. Or yes. At that perfect moment.
Well stuff the IF! We are where we are. The choices we made have, in part, led us here. Partly our own decisions and partly cosmic fate. Those two combined create our destiny.
We’ve yet to learn how to go back and undo, or redo, time, moments, choices and circumstance. So let’s get more comfortable with where we are.
So take a few moments, right now, and list 10 of your favourite memories. These don’t have to be your top 10 ever. Just the first 10 great memories that pop in your head now. You can keep writing 15 or 23 if the thoughts start to flow and even better, or just more, memories bubble up.
Great! Keep this list by your bed and read each one just before going to sleep and upon waking, every day. Smile. Be grateful. Cherish those babies. Cause that’s our life.

Life Is Constantly Shifting
You walk down a different street and you get a different perspective of your town. The doctor calls with test results and the world looks different.
You achieve something, buy something or do something new. From that moment your life is altered. Your perception changes. You become a different person. Ever so slightly. Bit by bit. We shift. We evolve. You transform.
Imagine becoming the Earth’s best version of you today. Make the changes more quickly. What are you waiting for? All the knowledge is there. Use it.
Life is constantly shifting. You can notice it if you pay attention. Keep shifting until you’re unstoppable.

If Life Is Too Easy
You’ll find a way to mess it up. You don’t have to mess it up, but that does seem to be what many people do.
With ease comes complacency. Then you can fall behind the pack. After that it seems easier to play it cool then to try hard to catch back up. Then the seeds of self-destruction are being sown. You shrug it off and say you don’t care, when inside it is eating at you every minute. Envy, jealousy and hate become commonplace in your mind.
To turn that around you need gratitude. Appreciate all the little and large things in your life. Write it out. Don’t just think about it. Write out, ‘I am grateful for….’ It could be ‘I am grateful for my health, heat in my home, food on my table and a comfortable place to sleep.’
If life is too easy, we don’t appreciate it. There was no struggle. We want to prove we had to struggle so we create some drama. There is no need to do that. There is enough you are already struggling with unless you have the body, finances, relationship, education and career you always wanted. If not, get committed and be disciplined every day until those things are 100% how you want them. Until then, be grateful for every moment of being alive and being able to work toward your dreams.

Life Is Like Chess
The more you consider the long term, the better you usually do. It starts off so clean and simple. But then things get more intertwined and complex. If it lasts long enough, everything thins out and becomes simple again.

Key Skills In Life
You need five key skills in life. That is all. Not 2,000 and not even 200. Nor are they difficult. But without these you will struggle.
Learn to work diligently and with pride.
Be appropriate with money. This includes spending less than you earn.
Be selective with your time. Enjoying time spent is one thing. However, wasting it, especially repeatedly, is an entirely different story.
Learn to be kind to others. This also includes being well mannered.
Finally, be grateful and appreciate all of the people and things that are in your life.
Yes, you could list more here. I could even break some of these down to be more specific. But generally, if you can manage to do these five things, within the broader context of your life, you will do well. By which I mean you will earn a decent living, be joyful, live with little stress and retire on your own means.
Work on these five key skills in life every day.

Making Your Next Episode
Your life could be viewed as a movie, mini-series, or tv show. Although it is probably most like a tv show. Making your next episode is a weekly occurrence.
With that in mind, how do you rate your life? Is it a drama, sit-com, tense thriller or mind numbingly drab? How do others see it? How would you like to see it?
The amazing thing is, you are making the next episode as your day unfolds. You are the writer, casting director, overall director, executive producer and star of the show. In the early seasons you were primarily the star. Your parents played the other roles in the credits. But once you turned 10, you started heavily influencing the other production roles.
You may like to feel as though you’ve given up artistic control, or never actually had it. However, every day you should remind yourself that it is you that makes the bulk of the decisions in your life. You decide if you are a stunning, fit and joyful lead character. You also decide if your role is that of a tired, bored or restless individual.
The people on the set are all selected by you to create the ambiance, atmosphere and interaction. Scenes start and end how and when you want them to. If a storyline isn’t working for you, you can just leave it on the cutting room floor.
Every week, you are making your next episode. Pay close attention to how you write the script for this week.
